My journey towards a fulfilling career in healthcare began after a decade of working in the communications industry.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Mass Communications from Murdoch University in Australia in 2010, and held corporate communications roles in sectors such as education, environment and sports.Although I enjoyed my work, I dreamt of pursuing a more fulfilling and meaningful career that also allowed me to prioritise my family.I knew then that I had to make a career switch.I obtained a certification in sports massage as I found it beneficial for muscle injuries.
That same month, I also completed a month-long certification for basic exercise science at Republic Polytechnic, which I also did part-time. For instance, we learned about medical terminology, how to read vital signs, manage a patient’s physical and mental needs, and respond to medical emergencies. I attended theory sessions from home, while the in-person training included discussions, scenario-based learning, case studies and simulations.
Despite these challenges, it is gratifying to see patients recover from their injuries or illnesses and regain their mobility.
